2024 Preview:
It’s been an interesting off-season for the WLTN/Kawasaki Team as they’ve brought in a new 250 rider in Quinn Amyotte, as well as a new Team Manager in Steve Simms. They also spent significant time down south training and testing, so countless hours have gone into making sure the riders are comfortable with their machines. Tanner Ward will be racing the all-new 2024 KX450F, and by all accounts, he’s very happy with the changes made to the motor and chassis. The majority of the testing and development was completed during the off-season. However, since the team returned home in April, they have continued to ride and test at the team’s HQ in Walton, Ontario. Heading into the 2024 Triple Crown Series, the WTLN/Kawasaki Team is in a good place as everyone is ready, and also the team chemistry is at an all-time high.
Team Manager Steve Simms had this to say about how his crew is doing heading into Round 1, “We are in a very good place right now. We’ve all put in a lot of work, and now it’s just time to load up and go racing. We had a good, productive time down south in March, and since we’ve been home, the riders have been riding and training hard. The past few weeks, we’ve all been together at Walton Raceway, testing, riding, and getting all the little things done before heading out west. Like everyone, we’re excited to get to Calgary and go racing!”
